The limited-edition Albane Choker created to celebrate the Year of the Snake, the 6th Zodiac sign in the Lunar calendar. The design offers a circular silhouette, adorned with snake motifs that playfully intertwine, complemented by small metal orb details hanging from their mouths - representing Vivienne's vision of taking tradition into the future.

Snake symbolism is often associated with transformation, rebirth, immortality, and protection. Historically, serpents and snakes represent fertility or a creative life force. In ancient Egypt, the serpent was seen as a symbol of royalty and divine power. In Greek mythology, snakes were a sign of healing and renewal, symbolised by the staff of Asclepius. Wikipedia
